Volunteers are part of the Hospice Team that offers
supportive medical, psycho-social and volunteer services to patients
and families who are facing the difficulties of a life-limiting
illness.

Hospice volunteers are concerned men and women of
all ages who willingly give of their time and talents to help Hospice
families in many ways. They come from all walks of life, bonded
by the mutual desire to serve the community.

Training

Volunteers are given a basic orientation to the Hospice
program during an extensive training course. Here the prospective
volunteer learns about the Hospice program and the volunteers
role as part of the Hospice Team.

When
training is completed, volunteers may select their area of involvement
in the program whether in direct patient contact or in one of many
other supporting positions.
